How Some Railroad Fares are Col
iected In the Lumber Region.

teCted In the LUMBER Region.
tChicago MALI
A railroad conductor who used to run up
in the Marinette aud hurley regions of Wis
consin, and who is now cooling off in Chi
cago from the effects of some warm expert
ences which he had in that benighted section,
entertained party Of friends Sunday in the
following vein: 81 had been told when
first took charge of the train that / would
have tough lot to deal with. The first car
/ entered on the occasion L am telling aDout
was full of the hardest looking customers l
ever saw. There wasn't sober man IN the
lot. approached each man and said Tick
cts in firm but polite way; They an gave
me big laugh, and when l had gone tnr0ukn
the car hadn't ticket or cent TO snow
for my work. felt as though was in great
luck to be alive. entered the next ear, ana
encountered an individual who was INFINITELY
harder looking than the chaps had left. /
said Ticket to him, and he shrugged his
great shoulders.
"'How much did you get out o. that other
carp he asked
81 told him not a ticket, not a cent.
"'What are you going to do about it?'
81 told him didn't know
: Kin you afford it?' he growled.
81 told him couldn't,
".Then you'll get bounced-lose your job,
won't you?' he asked.
Il said guessed that was the size of it.
"'Well, you won't, he said Gimme your
cap. Pllget your tickets
81 handed him my cap and insignia and
he went forward. The first man he came to
he hit under the ear and bawled out: Gimme
your ticket or your fare, or I'll bury you in
the floor
"The man recovered and handed the
thumper bill.
"'You don't get no change this ERE trip
said the acting conductor, and he hadn't
more than said that than he hit another man
under the ear Ticket or fare,' says the act
ing conductor, and that man lunloaded
"In less time than it takes to tell it every
man in the car was on his feet with money in
his hand waiting to pay and every one of
them did pay.
THE acting conductor brought the roll to
me and said You want to hit these chaps
under the ear when you want fare
but never had the courage to do it and
soon afterward resigned. never knew who
my benefactor was. l asked his name and
he answered:
You got your money didn't you?''
II said Yes
"'Well.'' he added, don't ask any foolish
questions
Il saw him frequently after that. butnever
learned his name. He always paid his fare
and never hit him under the ear for it either.
